The wholesale I'elease of baseball
managers and. at the some time. the),
exceeding reluctance with which we
owners 'part with players once more
brings on the question as to wiiether
the success of the «players is due to
the ability or the managers or the
success of the managers is due to the
ability of the players.
Excepllng‘ a very few-“j instances,
such as the careers of McGraw, Con-
nie Mack and Fred Clarke, the evi-
dence seems to point in favor of the
player This is shown by the fact
that the owners ate more loath to
part with their players than with
their managers.
The last world's neIles [blows a
good light on the question of what

makes the bail team—«the players or
the manager. In Stahl‘s case, it is
undoubtedl) the players. As the
manager of Washington Stahl was a
failure. He went back into the game
as a player and then retired. Cominz
out of retirement, he assumed the
management of the Red Sox, and .so
great was the ability or his'men that
he was carried into a world‘s cham-
pionship.
With only one. year of experience
and no opportunity to make changes
in his club it cannot: be said that the
success of the Red Sox was due to
tho manipulations of Stahl. 0n the
other ‘,hand the New York Giants,
throughout the country, are looked
upon as an Ordinary bsli club with
an extraordinary munuger.

The true test comes when a man-

Hery Wolverton also made the
mistake or trying too many experi-

Woivcrton Was Unlucky.
Wolverton was _, more unfortunate
than any or the deposed managers,
in that he lost most.oi his good play-

have happened to the Red Sox it their
tannins outfield had been- out hall at

The Highlanders lost the services
of Cree, Walter and Chase at

any club out oi the race. Seeing that
he was beaten, Wolverton set about
building up a team for next year. His
judgment may have been right, but
the result. was so disastrous that he
had to retire. There is no doubt that
Wulvorton made many mistakes 'in
the handling or his pitchers, but if he
had been sure of another year's work
